I've been a vampire fan since I was around 7 or 8 and saw Fright Night (1985). When I was reading Ann Rice's depiction of the origin of vampires I was SO AMAZED, so happy, so excited! Having ancient Egypt (another fav topic for me) mixed with the origin of vampires and how she told it so delightfully was something I didn't expect and it filled a very special place in my vampire-loving heart.
I will always love this series the most, I feel it has the best crafted backstory and lore of any vampire series out there. Anne Rice is an incredible storyteller.
Lestat was born in the 1700's he was in his 20's when he was made a vampire. He didn't meet Akasha until the 1980's. He was not a vampire for a mere 10yrs when he drank from Akasha.
@@VampireFolkloreVideos I was hoping to correct myself before anyone replied. You are absolutely correct. I kept thinking about it after I commented and the more I thought about the less sure I became, specifically because of Marius. I’m just going to go have a seat and be quiet now.
0:10 actually not even that is a common thread (anymore) as some of them don’t actually care about the blood it’s the life force they need and it’s just the easiest way to transfer that from the victim but some have evolved past needing the blood and can just leach it from a victim by only been near them or by touch. I can’t remember the name of the book offhand but it’s about a female Dampire that starts off the book not knowing she is one but is making a life tricking dumb locals into thinking she has killed a vampire that has been bothering them lately (it’s her partner in crime) and like book 3 or 4 when in her highened state she ends up leaving a handprint of dead plant matter that won’t heal on an elfin tree that she sucked the life out of and she didn’t even know she had done it, the serious is ok but I kinda stopped reading it after the ark concluded and it moved to following a friend they had made along the way, I’ll try and remember the name and list it when I remember.
Thank you! I’m really sick of all these people crying that the TV series is destroying the legacy of the vampire Chronicles like Ann rice and her constant flip-flopping on religion didn’t do that herself
I'm really happy about the fact that the franchise became a platform for the lgbt+ community. Finanly, in 2024, the true intentions of the maker can come out of the closet. Homosexuality and vampires forged in literature a bond of the forbidden. But now it is over, and we can investigate the deep relationships on the new series.
Anne Rice has to be the best author of vampires there has ever been, even topping Bram Stoker. But..the atrocity that is the new TV series makes me sad and angry. She waited a long time for it to come to fruition, but died before it happened. I, for one, am relieved she never saw that abomination. She and her son Christopher washed their hands of it when they saw what the producers wanted to do to her beloved characters. Christopher himself has said he never wants to talk about it. That says a lot. Yes, their names are attached to it, but only because of legal reasons, and there it ends. It was wrong to own slaves, yes. But okay to keep women and sell their bodies? Louis would never do that. Ever! That is NOT her Louis. If the TV series were an original story with original characters I might feel differently. Maybe. But since it is passing itself off as Anne Rice’s…I cannot accept it. Neither did they.
@@figureoutnamelater6779 No. That is NOT what I was saying. They are both wrong and I said as much. Owning slaves was the way it was in those times and Anne Rice wrote it as such to be historically accurate. But Louis wasn’t a pimp. The producers changed him into one. When the writers go that far off it’s a put off for me as an ardent fan of Anne Rice’s work.
